• MDN MediaSession API Documentation

Simple Usage

import { MediaSessionManager } from "@eyevinn/media-session-manager";

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {
  const videoElement = document.querySelector("video");

  const metadata = {
    title: "Demo Video",
    siteName: "Eyevinn Demo Site",
    artwork: [
      {
        src: "https://via.placeholder.com/512?text=Eyevinn",
        sizes: "512x512",
        type: "image/png",
      },
    ],
  };
  new MediaSessionManager(videoElement, metadata);
});

The constructor takes three arguments

• video element
• metadata
• isLive, boolean that defaults to false (being vod)

Metadata

interface MediaSessionMetadata {
  title: string;
  siteName: string;
  pageName?: string;
  artwork: Artwork[];
}

interface Artwork {
  src: string;
  sizes: string; // ex "512x512" as string, width x height
  type: "image/jpeg" | "image/png";
}
